 d'un Genre de Polypes d'Eau douce. Par A. Trembley, de la Societe 

 Roy ale. A Leide, 1744." This volume is one of the most delightful 

 contributions to natural knowledge ever published : its narrative is en-

 and the illustrations so faithful, and in the highest excellence of art, (being 

 engraved by the celebrated Lyonet), that it is worthy of a place in the 

 best libraries. I obtained a copy some years since through M. Bailliere, 

 the foreign bookseller, Regent Street, London.
